Carter was here, as well as Yenorin, and Yenorin's husband and some other lady. Genevieve nodded at the two candidates, a bit of a smirk tugging her mouth as she waited for their attention. Carter's answer was sort of... interesting to the Auror. Personal, really. "Could you be more specific, Ms. Carter? It seems to me that the MLE exists of a lot more people than the YATIL, and they patrol and run security outside of the Ministry proper. That's their job, not babysitting the building. How would you utilize them internally? And can you give some examples of lax security causing issues at the Ministry, and you would have handled them differently?"

She liked that Carter was being more specific than Yenorin (so far, at least, but it was early days), but she didn't find herself agreeing with the woman's conclusions.


"Yes, I realize that there are more people in the MLE than just the YATI, Ms. Branxton," she HAD gotten her start in Britain in that department, after all. "and that the Auror's and MLES' responsibilities don't include 'babysitting the building' as you put it. Which is why I agreed that wand weighers and such should get self-defense training; so that they would be responsible for protection of the building." Now, was that straightened out now? Or did she have to explain further, use smaller words, maybe?

The fact that she was having to explain to an Auror where their security was lax just revealed how much trouble the British MLE was in. Emily, what were you making your people do if not their jobs? Make yours and Legend's coffee? "There are so many examples that I don't know where to start. The Cult of Walpurgis' takeover, the zombie spore invasion," which she still had bad memories of to this very day, "the chizpurfle infestation and the beating up of a reporter by an Auror." Hi Simon! "Now, I believe that the Cult situation was handled in the best way possible, and that the spore problem was more down to the Environmental Department, though it would've been nice to have some help in finding those people," that last part was said under her breath with a pointed look at both Emily and Simon, who she spotted in the crowd "but the chirzpurfle infestation? Having the MLE in a subway section where they'd be more at risk of being caught out by Muggles? I would've found an abadoned warehouse away from town, something away from muggles. And attacking a reporter? That Auror would've found himself on desk duty for a long time, not promoted to head of security." Yes, that's right people, your head of security attacked someone. Basically, the MLE was in such disrepair that she didn't think it would ever get fixed.

He bit back a sigh, apparently she hadn't appreciated something he'd said. He was going to get it later he was sure. Though he wasn't sure what he'd said wrong! Was it because he'd addressed her first? He nodded as Becca spoke. "You mentioned implementing new laws, are there are any that come to mind?" He definitely agreed with the basic self-defense training for those working near the entrances. To be honest he felt everyone should have that basic self-defense training.

He turned to Roxanne when she responded as well, and nodded in agreement about the self-defense training as well. Deeper? His eyes actually widened a little at how she appeared to bash the way MLE was being run. Perhaps there were issues here and there but as of late he hadn't... "Pardon? You feel MLE is actually not doing their job properly? How would you change that? Where do your concerns fall?"
Well, at least someone had heard her correctly. "Correct. MLE is clearly not doing their job correctly, since these security breaches keep happening. In fact, judging by what I've been hearing in the past few weeks from both insiders and others, they may not even be aware that there's a problem." Knowing Emily and her ego, that was probably exactly the case. "I outlined my concerns in my response to Ms. Branxton, so I'll continue to your next question. Honestly, I think a change in leadership may be needed to fix the problems in that department. If elected, I would try to work with Ms. Browne to implement the changes the department needs, but....... ego.

Working at the Ministry for 2 years, Dimitri didn't think that the Security at the time was enough. He was one of the victim, getting infected by some spore that caused him act weirdly like a muggle zombie who attracted by wand. He knew that might not happened again but.. who knows.

"Hello..." The 28 year-old guy greeted the candidates. "My name is Dimitri Burton. I used to work as level 5 employee a few years ago, and one day I got infected by a plague or something that I turned into a zombie. A wand-eater zombie to be exact." But glad that he was cured for now. It REALLY NOT a good experience, seriously. "So, what are your plans to make that incident like that would not happen again? I think this is NOT just the duties of Law enforcement since I got poisoned after having some meals at the food court." He didn't hear much about what caused him turned into zombie since he decided to resign after that, not because of the incident but he had to do something at the moment.
"Yes, Mr. Burton, I am aware of the incident that you are referring to." Very well aware. "I believe that was caused by a foreign plant that had been brought in by the Environmental Department. I believe that the department should be more vigilant about what plants they being in, which I was when I headed the department and I believe the current department head has done the same, so I really don't think that's a big worry anymore." Thank goodness.
